\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}I\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\right)
Variable I cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by I.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}I\left(\frac{4}{12}+\frac{3}{12}\right)
Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}I\times \frac{4+3}{12}
Since \frac{4}{12} and \frac{3}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}I\times \frac{7}{12}
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3\times 7}{4\times 12}I
Multiply \frac{3}{4} times \frac{7}{12} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{21}{48}I
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{3\times 7}{4\times 12}.
\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{16}I
Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
\frac{7}{16}I=\frac{1}{4}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
I=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{16}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{16}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{16}.
I=\frac{1\times 16}{4\times 7}
Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{16}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
I=\frac{16}{28}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 16}{4\times 7}.
I=\frac{4}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
